Hyundai Tucson (2015-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of room for passengers and luggage	No better than average to drive
Good value for money	Dull interior design
Strong on reliability	Only the most powerful diesel has four-wheel drive

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Tucson (2015-2020) is a spacious, family-friendly medium SUV that offers excellent value for money. With a solidly built cabin, responsive touchscreen infotainment, and plenty of equipment as standard, it delivers impressive practicality. The cabin is maturely styled, though somewhat dour, with monotone dark grey plastics. The front seats offer adequate space, whilst the rear provides generous room for passengers. The boot is large and square-shaped, making efficient use of luggage space. Rear seats fold in a standard 60/40 configuration and can be reclined for comfort or upright for practicality.

The Tucson is powered by a range of diesel and petrol engines. The popular 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre diesels are economical, achieving around 50mpg in real-world driving, though they're noisier than rivals. The 175bhp turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol offers gutsy mid-range performance and achieves approximately 35mpg. Whilst the Tucson isn't thrilling to drive, with vague steering and a slightly stiff ride, it feels safe and predictable. Running costs are competitive, with low servicing expenses and timing chains rather than belts. The five-year warranty on new models indicates strong reliability credentials, and older cars qualify for Hyundai's Essentials servicing programme.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, practical SUV with excellent value, strong reliability, and low running costs; buyers prioritising interior space and boot capacity over driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting engaging handling, premium interior design, or those requiring four-wheel drive across the full engine range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're seeking a spacious, practical family SUV with excellent value, strong reliability, and low running costs, and you prioritise interior space and boot capacity over driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You want engaging handling, premium interior design, or require four-wheel drive across the full engine range.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2015-2020) is a seriously sensible choice in the medium SUV market, offering spacious accommodation, a useful boot, impressive reliability, and competitive value for money. Whilst it doesn't match the Skoda Karoq for expert rating or the Peugeot 3008 for style, the Tucson delivers a no-nonsense package that fits into family life with minimum fuss. Its average driving experience and dull interior are minor drawbacks compared to its substantial practical advantages and strong reliability record. For budget-conscious family buyers, it remains an excellent proposition.
